This was our first time visiting and we had an amazing experience. The food and service were exceptional. Our server did a fantastic job explaining the small plates and walking us through the dishes. We had a the chef’s choice charcuterie, brie tart, ahi tuna, mushroom Carbonara, and a featured halibut dish. All of the food was delicious. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Amazing culinary delight.Vegetarian options: A couple options are vegetarian, but if you ask they could probably substitute some dishes. Very accommodating.Parking: Summer months parking is difficult, but fall, winter & spring is no problem.Kid-friendliness: Not really geared towards kids. Adult centered food.Wheelchair accessibility: The first floor of the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but not the balcony area.

Excellent range of options with noticeably fresh ingredients. I also appreciated their beer selection which was unexpected. You can tell they have great taste and likely showcase that in different ways with diverse offerings depending on the season but maintain consistent quality. Definitely recommend.

Really inventive, seasonal menus and a staff that seeks into it. I loved this spot and I’ll be back whenever I’m in town again.

Although the portions are small, the flavor really packs a punch. Our favorites were the Brie tart, the broccoli lo mein, and the bison picadillo. This seared ahi tuna was delicious.The crabcake was good, but $20 is a hefty price to pay for one crabcake. The fall pasta was probably our least favorite because of the whipped ricotta, which was a bit pungent and overpowered the other flavors. Service is excellent. The environment is quaint and colorful. Overall, I recommend dining here.

Enjoyed a nice dinner upstairs at this quaint place. Great server. Tried the lamb pops, cauliflower al pastor, crab cakes, mushroom toast and tomato soup. From where we sat, we could look down at the chef preparing our food, and they seem to run a very clean kitchen. Food was tasty and the menu is diverse. This is the type of small town place that you want to see succeed. Nice setting, quality ingredients, good service. Would definitely come back here again!

Seriously good food and cocktails. The staff was very friendly as well. We will definitely recommend and return when in Saugatuck again.

If you like to try a bunch of small unique plates, this is for you. The dishes are inventive which you don't always find in a beach town. And they are so good! Drinks are amazing too. I hate driving to dinner on vacation, but we do it for this place.

Best meal I've had in years. Pernil and Summer Salad. Perfect service from Robert. His timing and anticipation of guest needs was on point. He is great at reading individual guest needs. He provided personalized and detailed recommendations to people who he could tell wanted that, and customized service for others like myself who didn't need as much interaction.
